My Trip

An old district that thrived on tea and herbal-medicine wholesale in the late Qing, now revived as retro select shops and moody cafes. Dihua veteran-shop stroll → the Yue Lao love shrine → fabric market → a 1920s-building renovated cafe → Dadaocheng Wharf sunset: Taipei's most time-layered route.

Itinerary

1
Dihua Street迪化街
Street · Shopping · 55 min stay
Taipei's oldest commercial street lined with dried-goods, herb, tea and nut wholesalers. Century-old shops with Baroque facades remain intact — a stroll alone is time travel. Before Lunar New Year it teems as the New Year goods market.
오전 11시~오후
Walk 3 min
2
Xiahai City God Temple (Yue Lao)霞海城隍廟
Temple · 25 min stay
Taiwan's greatest 'love sanctuary.' Worshippers queue daily to pray to Yue Lao for romance. Small but intense with incense smoke — the highlight is praying and receiving a red thread.
오후
Walk 2 min
3
Yongle Fabric Market永樂市場
Market · 30 min stay
Taiwan's largest fabric and cloth market. The colors of cloth rolls on floors 2-3 are overwhelming, and the 1st-floor stalls serve local snacks like mifen-tang and run-bing.
오후
Walk 4 min
4
Xiaoyicheng & Minyicheng (Luguo Cafe)小藝埕·民藝埕／爐鍋咖啡
Cafe · Select shop · 40 min stay
A complex select shop entirely renovated from 1920s red-brick shop-houses. The courtyard light and old wooden stairs are photogenic spots. A hand-drip cup at Luguo Cafe.
오후
Walk 10 min
5
Dadaocheng Wharf大稻埕碼頭
Riverside · View · 45 min stay
A sunset spot that dyes the Tamsui River red. Wrap up with the river breeze at a container-converted food-and-beer market. Fireworks festivals in summer too.
